Some of the greatest things that Oscar did off the court are never talked about. Being from Indiana, I will always be grateful for him bringing Roger Brown to the Indiana Pacers. Roger got into some problems when he was young and was banned from competition. Oscar went out of his way to get him into the pros. Oscar knew he was an excellent talented ball player that deserved a chance. Oscar talked the owner of the Pacers in the old ABA to give him a shot. Roger became an all star and a hall of famer. Oscar isn't only one of the best players to ever play, but one of the best humans to play the game. Thanks Big O for making my childhood that much better. You were always my favorite.

The Big O mentions Frazier and Barnett 💙 🧡 In another article interview he mentions Monroe. He gives credit where credit is due.

I am very surprised Oscar Robertson does not get more recognition. Unlike any other player, he was a natural and made everything look effortless. He is in the top category of all basketball players. When I was 12 and started practicing on my own, I imagined either being or playing against certain players who played in the NBA in the 1960s. With Oscar Robertson, I imagined myself being guarded and being pushed around by him; and bodied by a stronger physical player. I remember thinking Oscar was one NBA player I would not want to get in a fight with. He was as tough as anyone and looked very strong. The only time I saw Oscar Robertson being pushed around to any extent was Dave Cowen very briefly in the game #7 of the 1974 finals (Oscar's last game). I remember thinking then how much it took in energy, effort, and time for one player to physically dominate Oscar - when Oscar's career was ending.

One of the early greats that dominated the 60s and was the team leader of the Bucks when Kareem was still a newbie. Too bad there's so little footage of him and the other greats of the 50s and 60s. Athleticism wasn't invented during the last couple decades. It was definitely alive and well and personified in players like Wilt, Russell, and Oscar.

Mr. Oscar Robertson is a true Gentleman and one of the best B-Ball players EVER! He was treated so terribly and that is the truth of the matter - God Bless you, Big O. You broke all the barriers and made it EASY for those who came after you - YOU ARE THE GREATEST - May you enjoy your days and be happy - you earned it! ;-]

Good job Chris, But Oscar was the star of the interview, I'm 78 yrs old, I remember when was drafted by the Cincinnati Royals, Big O was my hero, Absolutely the best point guard EVER, they weren't even called Point guards at the time, doesn't matter what they called them he was going to win,by outplaying you, period,, Oscar Robinson is a class act, he means a lot to me, we from the same era !!! Hats off O'GEE !!!

1:00 Anyone who thinks there were no great athletes playing basketball in the 1960s is a moron. Consider that Bill Russell COULD HAVE GONE TO THE OLYMPICS IN HIGH JUMPING (and was going to if he hadn't been cleared to go in basketball). Bill had the 7'th highest jump in the WORLD in 1956 - and TIED Charlie Dumars at the West Coast Relays that spring for a shared win with that jump. Charlie was the FIRST PERSON to go over 7' officially, later that year AT the Summer Olympics (in Australia, held in OUR fall/winter) - and won Gold. Just for one of the best known examples.

I love this documentary for the incredibly great Oscar Robertson. Chris did have one point incorrect though, Milwaukee was good at different points since they won the '71 title. They were really good...championship level...in the early 80s. They also had a good, not great, run in the early 2000s mostly focused on Ray Allen. But as far as champions, that didn't happen again until 2021.

Chris Weber, watching this i can tell how much you look up to Oscar. The reason I know, I look at him the same way! From my first experience with him, the ONLY time I met him. He was playing at Cincinatti, and he came to my hometown for a Big Chef opening. My brother was the local sports caster and interviewed Oscar that day. I stood in line, met Oscar, ge talked yo ne like ge did to you. I then had to wait in tge car until the day was over. Oscar talked to EVERYONE in that line, until the very last person. I admired that so much, he immediately became my favorite player! Of course, he was such a great player, averaged a triple double fir his career, need I say more. But I admire Oscar Robertson more for the way he presented himself! Always in a positive manner for everyone involved. Always respectful. Oscar Robertson held himself above all the controversy, all the scandal, his entire xsreer! In the interview Oscar said he didn't feel different from anyone else. He WAS different that everyone else!

The Greatest NBA 5-man Dream Team: Bob Cousy, Oscar Robinson, John Havelcheck, Larry Bird, Bill Russel. Cousy and Bird are among the greatest passers in NBA history with the addition that Cousy (unlike Majic), was the 2nd leading scorer in Celtis history until Bird dethroned him. Plus they were also two of the greatest Floor Generals in NBA history as well. ANd Bird, the first, the creator of the 50-40-90 Club. And Bird did it twice before anyone else did it once. Bird was/is one of the most, if not the most, compete, perfect Player in NBA history. Bird's only flaw was a lack of athleticism in a sport that flew and ran. Oscar and John were probably the two greatest physical specimens in NBA history. It was said that Hondo never stopped running, while Oscar Dominated. Both men were dominant scorers, but Oscar is the ONLY man in NBA history to score a triple Double in EVERY game in a season. Bill Russel, do I need say it? When Russel joined the Celtic, Auerbach told him not to worry about scoring and all that. He was being brought in to block shots and rebound. The Celtics only need was a strong defensive Center, they had a bevy of scorers. They got it in Russel. Blocked shots were not recorded then, but most players say he was the greatest shot blocker in history, and the lack of production the best scorers had when playing Boston suggests that that is true. Unfortunately, Russel took Auerbach's words to heart and never worked on his passing nor his shooting skills, what a shame too. The one blemish on his record is his meager 15 points per game. He was right there with Chamberlain on rebounding and assists, but his scoring was below average for the league. Had he just worked on his shooting, he could have been so much more multi-dimensional. It would not have harmed his defensive skills if he'd worked on his shooting skills too. With the great scorers on the Celtics Auerbach didn'tneed another scoring machine, but, I wish Russel had the heart of a Great Player who refused to be second best at any aspect of his game. If he were more like Bird, God what a player he could have been. This is the thing people never talk about when judging Russel's career. He played with 5 HOF Players and all of them were named to the 50 Greatest Players in the First 50 years of the NBA list in 1997. Chamberlain, on the other hand, had only one on his Philly team, and only two HOF players. Naturally, with so much help Russel collected rings, but give Chamberlain those 5 50 Greatest Players in the First 50 years of the NBA and Red Auerbach, (who is not given the credit he deserves for coming up with Bostons playing style that made Boston the team it was), and it's Chamberlain who owns 13 rings, not Russel. Russel was a creation of the greatest team in history, not his own personal abilities. On any other NBA team without the Depth in Boston, Russel's lack of scoring would have seriously hurt his team and kept them out of the Playoffs. But in Boston, Russel was the missing piece to the puzzle. The skill sets of these five would have defeated ANY other 5-man team in NBA history.

@29:08..."dad, they dont want us." dad, they dont want us...and how Mr. R deals with that is also so elegant..."when you are Black, in America, you dont think you are any different than anyone else." FFS this is the key point. I realize i am white, but i at least understood this a long time ago, the fundamentalist bit aobut racism in USA is that those whites who are racists fundamentally seem to think that non whites are not "real" americans....bizree and sad. you see the leader of the American olympic Bball team, KD, waving the flag, thrilled. shit...after everything, still waving the flag...whose not American? racism is so sad, and so painful...
